a) How much???
b) Make one your self
c) Do you really need the doors?
d) You need more height, so the bins come out easily and/or you can partially lift the lid to just drop something in.
e) Rather than pressure treated saw cut, I'd consider a planed, oiled wood for the facings. Same core design with spaced side panels. Also a decent base or adjustable feet.
a)No idea, would prefer hardwood.
b)Love to but very short of time at the moment.
c)How else do I get the bins out??
d)Ideally a fully liftable lid.
e)Agreed, but a base will only make getting a bin in and out harder, surely?

  • Dusty is expected to open the doors (not lid), pull the bins out (wrong way round), then grab the correct side and drag to the lorry.
Is that correct? With that we can develop the design - I'm not aware of anything particularly decent off the shelf.
yesAlthough it'll be me taking the bins out as it'll sit on the patio at the back of the house.

There are a few available in a similar vein to the link I posted, the hardwood ones are about twice the priceeek

Tbh I'm tempted just to knock up a frame and use willow to disguise it.
